The priests & teachers shall have their stewardship given them even as the members & the elders are to assist the Bishop in all things and he is to see that their families are supported out of the property which is consecrated to the Lord either a stewardship or otherwise as may be thought best by the Elders & Bishop. Thou shalt contract no debts with the world & again the Elders & Bishop shall council together & they shall do by the directions of the spirit as it must needs be necessary, there shall be as many appointed as must need be necessary to assist the Bishop in obtaining places for the Brethren that they may be together as much as can be and as they are directed by the holy Spirit & every family that they may live by themselves and every church shall be organized in as close bodies as they can [p. [18]]
